SUTHERLAND SPRINGS, Texas – At least eight members of the same family were among the 26 people killed Sunday when a man armed with a rifle burst into the sanctuary of a church in Texas and started firing.

The mass shooting left about 20 others wounded at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, about 30 miles east of San Antonio.

The massacre killed about 4% of the small town’s population. And no one at the church was left unscathed, Wilson County Sheriff Joe Tackitt said.
